Background

Radium-223 (Ra-223) 50 kBq/kg IV (55 kBq/kg after NIST update) every 4 wk × 6 injections (inj) is indicated in symptomatic bone-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients (pts) with no visceral metastases (mets). In an international prospective trial in mCRPC pts (NCT01934790), Ra-223 re-treatment (re-tx) after initial 6 inj was well tolerated, with very low radiologic bone progression rates (Sartor. ASCO GU 2016). Reported are safety and total alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) dynamics.

Methods

All pts had CRPC with bone mets and completed 6 Ra-223 inj with no bone progression during that initial tx. Pts had radiologic or clinical progression after initial Ra-223 tx, and adequate hematologic (heme) values. Pts who started subsequent anticancer tx must have progressed on the last anticancer tx. Concomitant agents (except cytotoxic) were allowed at investigator discretion. Addition of abiraterone and enzalutamide was not allowed during Ra-223 re-tx. Primary end point was safety; exploratory efficacy end points included times to ALP and PSA progression, and ALP and PSA response rates (≥30% decline from baseline).

Results

Of 44 Ra-223 re-tx pts, 29 (66%) received all 6 inj. Median time from last inj of initial Ra-223 tx was 6 mo. There were no marked alterations in tx-emergent adverse event (TEAE) incidence vs ALSYMPCA (Table) and no grade 4 or 5 heme TEAEs; 3 (7%) re-tx pts had grade 3 or 4 tx-related TEAEs. Maximum follow-up times for ALP and PSA progression were 12.8 and 11.4 mo, respectively. Median time to ALP progression was not reached. Median time to PSA progression was 2 mo. ALP and PSA response rates at wk 12, 24, and any time before database cutoff are reported (Table). ALP, PSA, and heme lab values will be reported.

Conclusions

Ra-223 re-tx was well tolerated, with minimal heme toxicity and ALP and PSA profiles similar to those of ALSYMPCA.
